52MAINTENANCESuggested MinimumMaintenance ScheduleRegular service by a qualified service agency andmaintenance must be performed to ensure maximumoperating efficiency.Maintenance as outlined below may be performed bythe owner.Daily1. Check that the area where the heater is installedis free from combustible materials, gasoline, andother flammable vapors and liquids.2. Check for and remove any obstruction to the flowof combustion or ventilation air to heater.Monthly1. Check for piping leaks around circulators, mixingvalves, relief valves, and other fittings. If found,repair at once. DO NOT use petroleum-basedstop-leak compounds.2. Visually inspect burner flame.3. Visually inspect venting system for proper func-tion, deterioration or leakage.4. Check air vents for leakage.Yearly (Beginning Of Each HeatingSeason)Schedule annual service call by qualified serviceagency.1. Visually check top of vent for soot. Call serviceperson to clean. Some sediment at bottom of ventis normal.2. Visually inspect venting system for proper func-tion, deterioration or leakage.3. Check that area is free from combustible materi-als, gasoline, and other flammable vapors andliquids.4. Check for and remove any obstruction to the flowof combustion or ventilation air to heater.5. Follow pre-start-up check in the Start-up section.6. Visually inspect burner flame. It should be lightblue. Remove and visually inspect hot surface ig-niter and sensor for damage, cracking or debrisbuild-up.7. Check operation of safety devices. Refer to manu-facturers’ instructions.8. Follow oil-lubricating instructions on circulator ifrequired. Over-oiling will damage circulator.Water-lubricated circulators do not need oiling.9. To avoid potential of severe burn, DO NOT RESTHANDS ON OR GRASP PIPES. Use a light touch;return piping will heat up quickly.10. Check blower and blower motor.11. Check for piping leaks around circulators, reliefvalves and other fittings. Repair, if found. DO NOTuse petroleum-based stop-leak.12. Clean air filter.Periodically1. Check relief valve. Refer to manufacturer’s in-structions on valve.2. Test low water cut-off, if used. Refer to manufac-turer’s instructions.3. Clean screen and air filter in intake.Preventive MaintenanceScheduleThe following is required procedure in CSD-1 statesand good practice for all Hi Delta installations.Daily1. Check gauges, monitors and indicators.2. Check instrument and equipment settings. (See“Post Start-Up Check” on page 49.)3. Check burner flame. (Should see light blue flame).
